Geologist Dr. Don Easterbrook debunks ‘absurd’ new warmist study claiming 1,700 U.S. cities will be below sea level by 2100 — Easterbrook: ‘The rate used by [Lead Author] Strauss for his predictions is more than 10 times the rate over the past century!’ | Climate Depot
Easterbrook: 'The accelerated rise is based on postulated accelerated warming but there has been no warming in the past 15 years and, in fact, the climate has cooled during that time. So no climatic warming means no accelerated sea level rise as postulated by Strauss...the huge rise of sea level rates proposed by Strauss are absurd and that the maximum sea level rise by 2100 will be less than one foot'
Watch Now: Canada’s Ezra Levant mocks Obama’s Keystone pipeline claims: ‘This president is the first president to make an international incident out of regular commerce – and to hold thousands of U.S. jobs hostage to rich environmental lobbyists’ | Climate Depot
Levant of Canada's Sun News: 'Does America not need 2,000 more jobs? And the laughable claim that only 50 or 100 maintenance and operating jobs would be permanent, again, if that's right, so what? That's 50 or 100 more jobs than Obama has created, with billions of wasted dollars. And the pipeline would be the number one property tax payer in most of the counties through which is passed. It would support millions of Americans indirectly by contributing to local governments'
The Reference Frame: Salon: AGW cause confined to a left-wing ghetto
The people believing in the climate hysteria have become so irrational about so many things that they're ready to abandon certain beliefs even if they represent the foundations of what they have been previously saying about the essence of the world for many decades! When you think about it, what really matters isn't whether they are left-wing or right-wing. What matters is that they are obsessed by this particular incoherent network of implausible assertions about the man-made carbon dioxide, the climate, and the hypothetical consequences of tiny changes of the temperature that may occur. The alarmists' opinions don't really have to agree with their scientific knowledge; they don't have to agree with the most general philosophical framework that they used to hold dear. This harmony isn't necessary because they have switched to the climate hysteria as the new #1 foundation of their belief system. The climate orthodoxy has become as important for them as the Islamic terrorists' reading of the Quran is for these terrorists. Everything else is secondary.
